The Bachelor of Science degree program in Communicative Sciences and Disorders provides a foundation of study in normal communication processes and the application of that knowledge to the identification, treatment, and prevention of communication disorders across the human lifespan. Students may use this foundation as preparation for specialized graduate study in speech-language pathology or audiology, or they may go onto related careers in education, other allied health fields, or public health. Students develop an extensive knowledge base in anatomy and physiology of the speech and hearing mechanism; normal speech, language, and hearing development; and disorders that can affect the ability to communicate. In addition to specific required coursework, students have the opportunity to tailor their major to their interests through restricted major electives that span a broad range of disciplines. The flexibility of the program also allows students to complete the pre-health courses. Throughout the program, students have the opportunity to pair their theoretical knowledge with practical application, such as through structured clinical observations or mentored research.
